目的观察曹仁发教授的三步推拿法治疗失眠的临床疗效。方法将90例失眠患者随机分为安定组、推拿组和结合组(各30例),分别给予舒乐安定片口服和(或)曹仁发三步推拿法治疗,疗程12天。观察三组临床疗效和治疗前后匹兹堡睡眠质量指数量表(PSQI)评分、阿森斯失眠量表(AIS)评分和多导睡眠图结果变化。结果 (1)安定组总有效率为83.30%,推拿组为80.00%,结合组为93.30%;结合组临床疗效优于安定组和推拿组(P0.05)。(2)治疗后,三组PSQI和AIS评分均较治疗前明显降低(P0.05),且结合组低于安定组和推拿组(P0.05)。(3)治疗后,三组浅睡眠时间及深睡眠时间均较治疗前显著延长(P0.05),且结合组长于安定组和推拿组(P0.05)。结论曹仁发三步推拿法可显著改善失眠患者的睡眠质量。     

Stromal‐derived factor‐1 gene variations in pediatric patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) of childhood is an autoimmune disease characterized by abnormally increased destruction of platelets and decreased megakaryopoiesis. Stromal‐derived factor‐1 (SDF‐1) plays a role in megakaryopoiesis and may be involved in the pathogenesis of ITP. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SDF‐1 gene, including rs1801157, rs2839693, rs2297630, rs1065297, and rs266085, were assessed in 100 children with ITP and 126 healthy controls. The genotypes were analyzed by tetra ARMS polymerase chain reaction and confirmed by direct sequencing. Compared with controls, the rs2839693 A/A and rs266085 C/T genotypes were decreased in ITP patients (P = 0.004 and 0.007, respectively). The odds ratios of the latter genotypes were 0.48, 95% CI 0.28–0.82. Further analysis of the relationship between SDF‐1 polymorphisms and clinical features showed that rs2297630 A/G was associated with protection from chronicity (P = 0.002; OR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.01–0.61) and steroid dependence (P = 0.007; OR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.01–0.84) in ITP patients. However, rs266085 genotype C/C was associated with risk of steroid dependence (P = 0.012, OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.27–11.77). The findings of this study suggest that SDF‐1 gene variations may be associated with the occurrence and prognosis of childhood ITP.

A case report of primary cardiac capillary hemangioma

Background: Hemangioma of the heart, presenting as a primary cardiac tumor is extremely rare. Methods: We present a 20-year-old male with a cardiac tumor which was incidentally discovered during routine clinical examination. Results: Echocardiography showed a large intramyocardial mass attached to the left ventricle, close to the apex. A tumor was shown near the apex of the left ventricle by Cardiac CT. We performed a total resection surgery of the tumor one week after admission and the patient recovered well and discharged from hospital 7 d after surgery. Conclusion: The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac capillary hemangioma. No tumor recurrence was shown by echocardiography after 20 months follow-up visits.     

Effect of taxane‐based neoadjuvant chemotherapy on fibroglandular tissue volume and percent breast density in the contralateral normal breast evaluated by 3T MR

The aim of this study was to evaluate the change of breast density in the normal breast of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Forty‐four breast cancer patients were studied. MRI acquisition was performed before treatment (baseline), and 4 and 12 weeks after treatment. A computer‐algorithm‐based program was used to segment breast tissue and calculate breast volume (BV), fibroglandular tissue volume (FV), and percent density (PD) (the ratio of FV over BV × 100%). The reduction of FV and PD after treatment was compared with baseline using paired t‐tests with a Bonferroni–Holm correction. The association of density reduction with age was analyzed. FV and PD after NAC showed significant decreases compared with the baseline. FV was 110.0 ml (67.2, 189.8) (geometric mean (interquartile range)) at baseline, 104.3 ml (66.6, 164.4) after 4 weeks (p < 0.0001), and 94.7 ml (60.2, 144.4) after 12 weeks (comparison with baseline, p < 0.0001; comparison with 4 weeks, p = 0.016). PD was 11.2% (6.4, 22.4) at baseline, 10.6% (6.6, 20.3) after 4 weeks (p < 0.0001), and 9.7% (6.2, 17.9) after 12 weeks (comparison with baseline, p = 0.0001; comparison with 4 weeks, p = 0.018). Younger patients tended to show a higher density reduction, but overall correlation with age was only moderate (r = 0.28 for FV, p = 0.07, and r = 0.52 for PD, p = 0.0003). Our study showed that breast density measured from MR images acquired at 3T MR can be accurately quantified using a robust computer‐aided algorithm based on non‐parametric non‐uniformity normalization (N3) and an adaptive fuzzy C‐means algorithm. Similar to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide regimens, the taxane‐based NAC regimen also caused density atrophy in the normal breast and showed reduction in FV and PD. The effect of breast density reduction was age related and duration related. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
